It's custom, which actually decreases the value of the car. What your appraiser's OPINION (as stated in the appraisal)does not (repeat does NOT) affect true resale value.
Go check blue book value of the car. Age, mileage, etc. You'll get FAR less than what the appraisal is. Nobody in their right mind would offer you any more than 1/3 of your "appraisal."
There are statements of "I believe," and "In my opinion," which are NOT fact. Yeah, you could have sold it for that much to that guy (read: sucker). But, you'll notice that a large portion of the folks on here (who generally KNOW the 'tours the best) won't even think about it.
Nevermind the fact that I could have typed up that same appraisal up myself and made it look just as official.

Why not do it big? Because it's not a big car.
Go take a look at Dean Joyce's "show car," then come back and tell me yours is nicer. Not by a long shot. Dean knows what looks right on and with the car, how its looks are understated, and how to make it look GOOD (read: not like @$$ with some silly paint scheme).
And, you posted pictures of your car in a public area, expect opinions to be heard, for the better OR worse.
